Bryant is not starting Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The deadline acquisition has gone 2-for-12 with a home run and a pair of runs in his first three games with San Francisco. Tommy La Stella, just activated from the injured list, is starting at third base and batting seventh Wednesday.

Bryant went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-3 win over Houston.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old got San Francisco on the board in the third inning with a solo shot, his 19th of the year and his first with his new team. Bryant batted second in his Giants debut, although it remains to be seen if he'll stay in that spot in the order. The versatile defender has a .267/.357/.509 slash line with 52 RBI, 59 runs scored and four stolen bases through 378 plate appearances, and he should be a near-everyday presence in the lineup.

Bryant was officially added to the Giants' 26-man roster and is starting at third base and batting second Sunday against the Astros, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old was acquired from the Cubs ahead of Friday's trade deadline and will debut for his new team in Sunday's series finale versus the Astros. Bryant should provide a significant boost to San Francisco's lineup and has a .267/.358/.503 slash line with 18 homers, 19 doubles, 51 RBI and 58 runs in 93 games this year.

Bryant will not yet be in the Giants' lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Previous reports indicated the Giants didn't expect Bryant to debut for his new team until Sunday, and those reports appear to be correct. Wilmer Flores will play third base, the spot at which Bryant has spent the majority of his career.

Bryant is expected to make his debut with the Giants on Sunday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant was with the Cubs at Nationals Park on Friday before he was traded to the Giants, and manager Gabe Kapler doesn't expect the 29-year-old to arrive in San Francisco prior to Saturday's matchup against Houston. He's hit .229 with two homers, a triple, two doubles, eight runs and five RBI in 12 games since the All-Star break.

Bryant was traded from the Cubs to the Giants on Friday, with Caleb Kilian and Alexander Canario heading the other way, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Giants finally make their big move as they try to stay ahead of the Dodgers and Padres in the very competitive NL West. Where exactly Bryant will fit into the Giants' very flexible roster is unclear, but he's started at five different positions around the diamond this season alone, so he'll fit right into the team's fluid setup. He'll head to a pitchers' park in San Francisco, so his numbers may take a small hit, but his .267/.358/.503 slash line is easily good enough to survive that drop.

Bryant isn't starting Thursday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant went 6-for-17 with two home runs, a triple, four runs and three RBI across the last five games, but he'll get a breather in Thursday's series finale. Ian Happ will start in left field while Matt Duffy serves as the third baseman.

Bryant went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant hit his 18th home run of the season in the ninth inning but it wasn't enough to rally the Cubs, as they fell to 50-52 with the 7-4 loss. There's speculation that Chicago could move Bryant before Friday's trade deadline to start a rebuild process. The 29-year-old has been having a strong season with an .867 OPS, and he should maintain fantasy value no matter where he finishes the year.

Bryant went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant has quietly assembled a three-game hitting streak with two multi-hit contests during that span, and he's one of the biggest names to watch with the trade deadline fast approaching. The veteran third baseman is hitting .304 with a .900 OPS across 18 games this month.

Bryant went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant started the scoring for the Cubs, taking Arizona starter Caleb Smith deep two batters into the bottom of the first to make it 2-0. Bryant now has 17 home runs and 50 RBI this season, both of which are second on the team to Javier Baez. There's been speculation that Bryant could be traded by Friday's deadline, but he should be able to produce useful fantasy numbers no matter where he finishes the year.
